We head to Idaho this weekend to watch some of the nation's best TriClubs battle for a top spot and a chance to compete at the 2017 IRONMAN Pan American TriClub Championship.

IRONMAN 70.3 Coeur d'Alene is the seventh qualifying event out of the 17 qualifying event series for the 2017 IRONMAN 70.3 Pan American TriClub Championship hosted by IRONMAN 70.3 Puerto Rico. The top three clubs in each division will go on to compete in the 2017 championship. All eyes are on the prize. Which 15 teams will 70.3 Coeur d'Alene send to Puerto Rico?

Division I will be the most competitive division at IRONMAN 70.3 Coeur d'Alene because each of the TriClubs have a similar number of athletes competing. Tri Club of San Diego and Endurance Nation have the most members racing, and will have to battle it out for the first place championship slot in Division I (national and/or 300 plus members). FCA endurance, Big Sexy Racing LLC, and Rocky Mountain Tri are not far behind in members and have the potential to generate an upset. California Triathlon Team, QT2 Systems, Swim Bike Mom & Trifecta, and Team Red White and Blue are still in the running, and could sneak their way onto the podium.

In Division II (clubs with 176 to 299 members), Salt Lake Triathlon will have to maintain a steady lead in order to stay ahead of Golden Gate Triathlon Team. LA TRI Club and TriScottsdale will be close behind the projected top two, but will have to stay motivated and determined as they chase their way to a third place finish.

Team Blaze Triathlon from Spokane, Washington, is making quite the appearance in Coeur d'Alene with one of the largest groups of athletes we've ever had from a single TriClub. 126 members make up Team Blaze Triathlon, who are racing in Division III (clubs with 76-175 members). Their numbers are too good not to crush the competition and take the win in Division III. The fight for second place is a tough one between Raise the Bar LLC and Vo2 Multisport with their strong numbers and notorious race day performances. Pauole Sport and Portland Tri Club are also trying to make their mark in the race for a qualifying slot.

TriTown from Boise will have to kick some serious butt to represent their home state, while Tri-Fusion from Spokane, Washington will try and take the win in Division IV. Project 13, Fortius Racing Team, and Summit Performance all have just about the same numbers of members racing so they'll have to dig deep for a strong finish in order to pull out a second or third place title.

Will the locals Couer d'Alene Triathlon Team be crowned the Division V champion? Their ability to work together will be tested as they fight for the top spot while Ironheads Multisport nips at their heels throughout the race. Third place is up for grabs in this division—Total Intensity Sports, Willamette Valley Tri, Lake City Triathlon, and Dark Horse Endurance Racing are all competing for the final qualifying spot to make it to the IRONMAN 70.3 Pan American TriClub Championship.

Good luck to all TriClubs racing at IRONMAN 70.3 Coeur d'Alene! Every finisher will make a difference in the TriClub Championship, just remember: "ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE," and be sure to visit Ironman.com on race day to track each team member's performance.
